SEAT-COVER.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known thatI, IDA M. CURTIS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Worcester, in the county of Worcester and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Seat-Cover, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to provide a new and improved sanitary cover for closet seats.

To this end the invention consists of a cover formed.- preferably of paper so as to have a seat portion and a back portion preferably connected by a fold line. The seat portion is provided with an oval hole, the edges of which maybe slitted. Pasted to the back of the seat portion is a reinforcing strip which surrounds the hole and thus strengthens the same and prevents the edges from tearing into the seatportion. This strip projects from the paste line around the edge of the hole. By this arrangement, the cover can be applied to a seat and pressed down around the edges of the hole of the seat therein so as to form a safe protect-or, the projecting portion of the strip passing under the edges of the seat hole. The back portion is provided with a lip for engaging the top of the lid and also with a pocket for toilet-paper, preferably formed from the piece of paper removed to form the hole. The whole device can be folded in small compass for transportation.

The device is shown in t drawings in which,.

Figure 1 is a plan view thereof, Fig. 2 is a sectional view on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a plan of a modification.

Referring to the drawing and in detail, A designates the seat-portion and Bthe back portion, which portions are connected together by a fold or hinge line C. The seat portion has an oval hole D cut therein, the edges of which are shown continuous in Fig.

e accompanying 1 and slitted as'at E in Fig. 3. A rectangular reinforcing piece F is pasted to the under side or back of the seat portion to-surround the opening D and reinforce the seat portion. Outside the line of paste it proects freely. The back ortion B is rovidedwitha li .G-which is folded back and ack portion along: its ,edges so as to form a means for engaging the top of theseat to hold the device in place and the back portion to the lid.

tion .is also provided with a pocket formed by pasting a piece of paper H thereto along its lower edges, which pocket. may be employed to contain toilet-paper. This piece H preferably is the one removed to form the holeD, so that only one set of dies is re uired. Its top is shown as folded over before application to the back B.

The device is placed in position by forcing the edges of the seat port-ion down into the hole in the closet seat. so that the flaps thereof pass under it, and by placing the lip over the top edge of the seat cover. When thus in place it will form a safe sanitary protector.

In the form shown in Fig. 3 the edges are slit as stated, and protected from tearing beyond the slits by a string or other reinforcing piece K pasted on.

The details and arrangements may be varied without departing from the scope of my invention as expressed in the claims.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters-Patent is 1. A seat cover for the purposes stated having aseat portion and a back portion, back portion having a lip for engaging the lid.

2. A seat cover for the purposes stated having a seat portion and a back portion,

and a pocket carried by the back portion.

3. A seat cover for the purposes stated havinga seat portion and a back portion, the back portion having a lip and a pocket.

4. A seat cover for the purposes stated, having a seat portion with a hole therein, and a reinforcing sheet pasted to the bottom thereof around the hole and projecting freely therefrom around and beyond the paste line.

5. A seat cover for the purposes stated, having a seat portion provided with an oval hole therein, and a rectangular reinforcing sheet having a like hole and-pasted to the I bottom of the seat portion therearound leaving the corners free.

In testimony whereof I have herennto set my hand, in the presence of two subscribing wltnesses.

IDA M. CURTIS.
